2 - Stunde Surfunterricht in Santa Monica

We had a wonderful experience with Kapowui Surfing Lessons in Santa Monica! We booked a 2-hour private lesson for our 14-year-old daughter with Nick B. Our daughter is autistic and can become frustrated quickly when learning new skills, but Nick was patient and made sure she had fun. He spent about 90 minutes working one-on-one with her. Seeing her confidence grow in such a short time was amazing. When our older daughter decided she had enough for the day, Nick used the remaining time to give our 10-year-old daughter a mini lesson. She absolutely loved it! Both girls had a wondeful experience and a lot of fun learning to surf. We also added photography with Marjan, and we're so glad we did. She was incredibly kind, supportive, and wonderful to work with throughout the lesson. She captured some great photos, including smiles and bloopers! The photos are absolutely beautiful, and I can't wait to frame my favorites. Thank you, Nick and Marjan, for creating such a positive, inclusive, and unforgettable experience for our family. We highly recommend Kapowui to anyone looking to learn to surf, especially families with children who may need a little extra patience and encouragement. We can't wait to come back! @kapowui1 @marjan4u

Will was a great instructor! Very patient and friendly, surf was manageable for beginner, overall fun experience. Would surf with them again!

A 2hr lesson where at least 50% of the waves were way above my very basic level (and only a few others even trying on the whole stretch of beach). But got the patience, advice and inspiration to stay on and eventually complete a full ride from a way out all the way on up to the beach that was topped off with some claps from some passers-by and the instructor giving the surfers thumb/finger wave thing 🤙. It was over a month ago and I’m still riding high. Thanks Kapowui.

Fun Surf LA is all-around great. Our instructor Fernando was outstanding. His passion for surfing came through in everything he did, and he communicated all the key points in clear, easy-to-understand terms. The instructional portion of the lesson was fast-paced, but not overwhelming. And once we got in the water, he was the perfect mentor. He knew when to step in and when to hang back -- he was as good at reading his students as he was at reading the waves. We were a group of 3 beginners -- two adults and one 17-year-old -- and we all stood up at least a couple times by the end of the lesson. All 3 of us left feeling like we wanted to go surfing again as soon as possible. We’re hooked -- thank you so much, Francisco! We would recommend anyone who wants to try surfing for the first time, or anyone wishing to brush up their skills, to do it through Fun Surf LA. Our entire experience was great. I booked the lesson at the last minute without carefully reading the "at least 24 hours in advance" policy. Actually, we were too late to take a lesson the following morning. But when I called that day, the person I spoke with was extremely helpful and accommodating. They found several slots for us and gave us options with the minimum of hassle. It was clear they wanted us to have a good time. Can’t recommend Fun Surf LA highly enough. Thank you!

Our son had a surf lesson with Liam and the photos done by Marjan. He had an absolute ball learnt heaps had fun. The photos were plenty and brilliant. All instructors friendly and fun. It was everything we had hoped for. Would highly recommend and definitely would do again if back in town

It has been a fantastic experience to be able to ride on the waves. This was my favorite thing. I would advise anyone who want to put himself in the game to try this experience with the help of instructors qualified, very kind and enthusiastic like those I found in the Kapowui surf school.

All 3 of our kids had a lesson with Liam and they loved him! They were all riding the waves within a short period of time! The staff at Kapowui is legit-they all love surfing and we’re passionate about our kids loving it as well. We loved seeing Liam cheer the kids on! Thank you Martin and Liam for an awesome experience yesterday! We will be back!!! 🏄‍♀️

Absolutely unforgettable experience! My sons ages 14 and 16 had a blast with Liam, who was engaging, knowledgable, enthusiastic and made sure the boys had the best time ever. It took a lot of energy to keep up with both boys at once, but Liam was amazing. If you want to learn to ride the waves, Kapowui is your company.

Ryan was patient with me and my 2 boys and made sure that all of us were able to get up and succeed. Highly recommend them.

This company is AWESOME! We are from Michigan and our 15 year old son had a two hour lesson with River. He learned a lot and was able to showcase what he learned in the water as well. He had never surfed before and after the quick lesson on the beach, he was able to catch a bunch of waves. River gave a lot of tips and was very encouraging as well. River brought his board out into the water to visually show our son his surfing techniques. Coming from the teaching world it was great to see an I do, We do, You do gradual release teaching approach! The company greeted us like we were family from the beginning. Every employee there was super welcoming. They even gave us an option of utilizing a board afterwards, if he wanted to surf some more. They provide everything and as parents we could watch from the beach.
